Description
Well after almost 4 months im back
Im still unsure about that, but maybe i can ''restart''. Not exactly like this, but i'll try to be more nice and confident from now on, ill probably upload more WIP Art and Sketches, keeping you all more 'up-to-date' on my life, I DONT CARE IF NOONES INTERESTED IN THAT XDDDD
HAve a little tutorial made by me..drawing weird stuff, cause i can.
I dont know exactly what to decribe this as, its more like a little allrounder... if you can't read my horrible handwriting, ill redo it and use photoshop for that.
If you have questions about something, don#t hesitate to ask me! I'll definetly answer and try to answer as good as possible!
Step 1
Well i made a rought sketch, using some references,
I cant really talk about the anatomy, cause i made this species up myself, so theres no real anatomy
mostly a mix between canines and bears
Step2
Just refine it, dont go to deep into detail, itll take too much time, add more detail when it comes to lining
Step3
Well, line it, in this style it doesnt have to be superclean, just so that i know where to set my shadows
Step4
I coloured my character, i used textured brushes, it gives more realism to it, you can see at the end of this tut
which brushes I used
Step5
I made a new layer, setting it to multiply and 65%
brown tones work great with greens, the fur of my character, so thats a nice colour to shade with
Step6
again new layer also on multiply and 65%, now i Added little details and some daker shadows using a slightly darker brown than before.
Step7
this part is pretty important,
Depending on the surrounding of the character ill add another colour to shade with, mostly in areas where the character ''touches'' his surroundings
such as feet, tail, and other lower body parts, of course if the light source is coming from below itd focus more on the upper body parts such as the head, this makes the character ''smooth' into its surroundings better
Step8
Adding lightning and backlighning..
take the colour you used to shade first ( here:brown) and use a smilar, lighter colour (here:yellow-orange)
for the baclightning, it can vary heavily, if its really somthing glowing you should use the opposite colour of the shading and lighning colour ( here: blue)
If its bouncing light, you should use the colour of the surroundings. If the character stand in a field of yellow flowers, the bouncing light will probably be yellow and some greens from the leaves...
it all depends on the surroundings/ background guys..
Step 9
refine and add detail.. i added a background here to show the effects better
( you should make your background usually atleast around step 3 if you want a neat outcome like this)
An then there are the brushes I used, well I used some other too, but they were just plain simple ones, that dont really matter
Have a nice day guys <33
